The bin zone maintenance facility is only available if you are required to carry out bin location maintenance by your manufacturer. In some cases, separate sub-sections (zones) may exist in addition to the main stock location/warehouse, and each zone may use a different printer. Standard functionality exists that allows you to create and maintain bin zones, and identify the default supplier and Point-of-Sale printers specific to each zone. A zone record is a single alpha character from A-T, which thus restricts you to a maximum of 20 zones. If required, you can identify a zone when you create a bin location record.
Note: The zone structure is predominantly used by the Point-of-Sale system but may be disabled by leaving the Default zone parameter empty.
